Ingredients
- 1 qt whole milk
- 4 eggs
- 16 oz sour cream
- 2 tbsp salt
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the milk to a boil over medium-heat. Stir the milk occasionally so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the salt. Whisk in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth and even.
- As you continuously stir, pour the egg mixture into the boiling milk. Let the mixture cook for 7 minutes, stirring it every so often to prevent sticking. Cook until curls up. Allow it to cool to a room temperature.
- Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the mixture through.
- Gather the cloth around the cheese and squeeze out as much of the milk as you can. Place the cheesecloth-wrapped cheese on a plate and place something heavy on top to weigh it down. Allow it to sit for at least 5 hours.
- Refrigerate the cheese until you're ready to use it. Enjoy!
